I thought CroCop was in pride?
Is Brock Lesner in this game?

Don't like this much tbh. Had a few fights in the lower difficulties and didn't struggle much so whacked it up to the highest setting. First game was spent rolling around on the floor for 3 mins, we just kept going from him sitting ontop of me to me sitting with my back to him, no matter which transition i used it just ended up there as he was blocking all my other attempted transitions, eventually ended in a tap out to him.
Second game i walk up to him, punched him twice, knockout.
Third game, 30 seconds in caught him with a roundouse, knockout again.
It's a very clever game but i couldn't see me finding it too enjoyable over a long period of time. It just feels like luck plays a huge influence in the gameplay, i mean, 2 punches for a knockout in the first round? Can imagine myself getting very annoyed if that happened online.

Sounds like some good "real" fights you've had, its not always going to last 15 mins with numerous whackings, sometimes a lucky shot can end it, and thats the real beauty of this game!
Oh i totally understand that they've really tried to go for realism, but that's not how i like my beat em ups. I'd really hate walking out against an opponent i know i'm better than only for him to beat me via a lucky punch in the first round.
As i say, it's a very clever game, just not for me.

Thats pretty much what happens in UFC. Watch one of their PPV's.
Yea i can understand your view, if its not your type of game its just unfortunate.
The developers have got it spot on for realism though, so anybody that is even remotely into MMA realises how much of a beautiful game it is!
As for the CroCop statement about being in Pride above, yes he was, then he came over to UFC when Pride was collapsed by the guys that own UFC whom decided to buy and close down Pride.
I'm still not sure if I will buy this one yet, I do enjoy it and it is a very good game I just see myself getting bored of it very quickly.
I was hoping they would do a punch control system something akin to Fight Night 3-4. The controls as they are, are very good I just don't have the control I wish I had. You can't really string combos together like you could with total punch control.
Also as people have stated this game is far too easy using chuck, stuff Ruas takedowns and just smash him around on the feet. My best, well shortest fight was 9 seconds we walked out he shot and I kneed, game over.
Im still yet to pull off a submission but I use Chuck and play on expert so it's not going to be easy.
Very nicely polished game though, not quite as polished as those "gameplay" vids of Chuck vs Rampage though, I knew that was too good to be true.

Those were pre-rendered. They do this years before the game is out and try and shoot for that. Its like what Killzone 2 did.

Been playing the demo but seems quite easy against the CPU. Knocking opponent out in first 2 rounds. Mostly the first round.
Chuck has great lunging hook.

Cant seem to beat Rua on Expert.
Though I can chuck.
It's just a VERY boring fight when fighting rua on expert imo.
All he does all day is shoot for the take down.
Bore fest.
The trick is to block his take downs. Do that, then you should be ok. Shogan is easy to defeat standing.
I find this strange. I haven't played this game in a few days. Yet I'm preforming better on it. 
I've been able to beet shogun 6/6 times on expert and I'm able to counter his take downs/subs more.
As aposed to getting raped 9/10 times with either fighter just a few days ago.
Weird.

I haven't been playing much, but i did have a few 1v1s against a mate last night and it was awesome. Was explaining the controls to him and the first thing he did was knock me down 
Anyway, how the hell do you get up off the ground with Rua is sat on you? All I can do is block the punches and turn around

When your on the bottom rotate the stick diagonally up and left \ way, then circle to the right. Its called a major transition to kick him off. When you are on the bottom and he is postured up ready to throw, press start and look at the action list or something like that, then it will explain under the transitions part. Should be under something like major transition from open guard to standing.
Just had a look at the roster and even though there are ex-UFC guys like Arlovski, Cro-Cop and Ortiz in the game, they DONT have current UFC legend Randy Couture!?!?! Anyone know why??
Also, does anyone know if the game will have an online mode?? (PS3 by the way)

there's an online option which you can't access in the demo, so i assume there will be
Couture was in breach of contract with the UFC and subject to a lawsuit while the game was in development so was originally omitted but it has been reported that they got image rights to use him once the lawsuit was settled.
There are also rumours that he's an unlockable character.
